Nova Scotia, Canada
Nova Scotia has a lot to offer its passing visitors. First up, Lunenburg, on the area’s southern coast, is one of the few North American towns that was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Founded by the British in 1753, it still has a historic feel to it.
This shipbuilding and fishing coastal town’s structures used to be painted black and white, those being the most affordable paint colors.
But in recent years, people started choosing other colors to specifically make their homes and businesses stand out a bit more, giving historic Lunenburg an inviting look.
And since you’re already in the area, you might want to also check out Mahone Bay, which is also set on the picturesque south shore. It was first inhabited by the French sometime in the 17th century, and later, the British gave it the name we know today.
The coastal town has remained a small and charming community attracting visitors for years, hosting wholesome events like the Scarecrow Festival and the Antiques Fair every year.

Wow–I particularly liked the coastal landscape of Manarola, Italy.

Can’t believe you left out the Sorrentine Peninsula, especially Positano. However, the ones you picked are pretty glorious.
